"And you mean to start off for the other side of the world equipped merely for a stroll through the Park?" cried Mr. Buxton. "Why not, sir?" asked Buck.

If we don't, we may find ourselves pulled up mighty soon and mighty sharp.
Then he saw a head follow him; then shoulders and body; and Anthony crept out and sat on the rugs beside him. Their hands met in a trembling grip. "Supper, dear lad?" whispered Mr. Buxton, with his mouth to the other's ear. "Yes, I am hungry," came the faintest whisper back. Mr.
By this time the famous debates in the British Parliament and other signs of the times announced the dawn of freedom for the oppressed African race. Wilberforce, Clarkson, and Buxton, the English abolitionists, continued their denunciations of the demoralizing institution. Their effects were crowned with success in 1833.
"Grace, Grace! pull the cord!" cried Lady Clonbrony "Mr. Salisbury's phaeton! Mr. Salisbury, I'm happy to see you! We're on our way to Buxton as I told you." "So am I," said Mr. Salisbury.

"'And fare thee weel, my only Luve, And fare thee weel a while, And I will come again My Luve, Tho' it were ten thousand mile."

An' they just fool it away! Eat it away, drink it away! An' then they have to go to Buxton an' Matlock an' Harrogate to sweat the muck out of their blood!" Henry reminded his father of the bloods and bucks and macaronis of the eighteenth century ... the last of the English gentlemen. "After all, father, they weren't so very much better than the lot you're denouncing!" "Yes, they were.
"You don't mean that you want to go to Buxton Common, do you? You can't mean that!" "Why shouldn't I go to Buxton Common?" asked Basil, smiling.
